Sea

I've never been to the sea

Today
I stand on a beach barefoot
Looking at the sea
Calm and vast
I remember gentle winds
Of my homeland
Licking trembling raindrops
On lotus leaves
I walk up to sea's edge
A little afraid of its blueness
I kneel down and
Dip my tongue in it
It tastes like the sweat-drops
Between your breasts

A wasted journey
